John 11:13

English Majority Text Version

However, Jesus spoke about his death, but they thought that He was speaking about resting in sleep.

See the chapter Copy

He said to them, "Make room, for the girl has not died, but she is sleeping." And they were ridiculing Him.

Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but asleep."

Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
